Our military adopting the Grendel?

[stanc]

The Grendel has already proven to be able to take bolt-gun pressures, as I mentioned that my friend runs the 139gr Scenars at 2700fps out of a Cz527.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I didn't say the Grendel case couldn't take bolt-gun pressures. I said the higher pressures would likely have an adverse impact on weapon durability.

The 6.5 projectiles beat .277 projectiles when it comes to BC/weight, as it takes 250fps more with a 140gr .277 VLD to match a 6.5 VLD at 1000yds.6.5mm= more efficiency, so we can get away with less pressures for better performance.

What pressure is your friend's bolt-gun load? 65,000 psi? Higher? How do you figure that's less pressure?

A 6.5x43 would require a longer action, whereas the Grendel case is of course shorter.

You were talking about loading the 6.5 Grendel LMG round longer than 5.56 mag length, so how do you figure it'd be any better in regard to OAL than the SPC case?

Either one would offer advantages for the LMG concept I speak of, but no further case-development is required with the Grendel, while the SPC already relies on high pressures.

:confused: No further case development is necessary for 6.8 SPC, either.

Of course links can be made for the Grendel.

Yeah? Prove it.
